Thank you very much for your reply, that's exactly the info I wanted. What powerflex mounts did you use?
Thanks everyone for your opinions, I want to be as informed as possible before I spend £400+
Hello everybody, I'm thinking of getting a new exhaust and am wondering if anyone has any opinions about the yozza/btm vs a piper exhaust. I would only be going for a catback option as it is a daily driver so don't want it stupidly loud, but I just fancy a bit of an upgrade as I have had the car...
Hello all
my n/s rear shock has gone so I'm going to replace the pair. There are some available from anschler or something on eurocarparts for £35 or ktec oe ones at £56. Or I could get koni ones from demon tweeks for £50.
Now this may sound silly but are the cheaper ones really much worse? Or...
I'm thinking about doing the led conversion as it looks infinitely better than the OEM colours, however I don't trust my own soldering skills to do it on my dash and c*ck it up so I thought about buying a second lot of instruments. Besides waiting for one to come onto eBay with a similar milage...
I've been down in Falmouth this weekend with the 182. Saw about 3 silver 1*2s on the way down and a trophy and 197 while I was there. Good to see Clio sports down there in force
cheers mate :)

FINALLY I have finished it! After c*cking up the the cover several times and having to re-sand and restart it is finally done! It's not the most imaginative design in the world but I am pretty pleased with how it's turned out
It went from this...
to this..
Yeah at the base of it all, a car is a car. The mechanics side of it is essentially the same as a bmw, except with sh*tly put together ferraris made by drunk Italians 40 years ago, nothing ever goes back the way it came out
I love them.
I was lucky enough to get a ride home in one a few weeks ago from Goodwood where we had been racing. That is an experience I will never forget...... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSST
My training is pretty slow, as it is for the other trainee guys. The problem is, it's still a garage with people who dont want to pay tons for labour, so it gets done by the technician and we just tidy up. Sometimes we do get to do proper stuff and it obviously depends on the urgency of the job...
Hit the nail on the head. The money is crap.
I've spent the last year working with these beautiful machines, and im sure I will get more experience, but I would rather be the owner than the worker so I am gonna try and move into car sales (possibly at ferrari) but more likely ford or somewhere...
Junior technician (garage b*tch)
But I have worked on the restoration of those 2 275 gts's in one of the pictures (one is battered) which has been good experience. I'm currently help rebuild the engine on one of them so with 6 weeks to go hopefully I will be able to finish it before I go
the dc5 and s15 are owned by a guy who works there. He also has a trophy, although his mum drives it at the moment :)
Go through latimer village, often times there's a porsche gt2 or mclaren mp4 (boss' house) but occasionally there will be an enzo or f40
I have no problem inviting you along...
I know this may spark hate but at the end of the day a job in a garage is still a job in the garage.
It is good experience but there's plenty of just cleaning cars and tidying up etc...
The cars are why I'm there and they're pretty damn good haha
I am coming to the end of my 1 year placement at a private ferrari place (i wont say the name in case they check this and get moody that i've loaded up photos) so I thought I would share some of the cooler cars I have spent the last year working on and driving around the place with you guys...
Yeah I've been looking through it for ages, just can't find it! My girlfriend is getting pretty p*ssed now... Supposed to be watching a film with her lol :)
Oh well I'll just order the paint and see how it comes out
Yours looks really good, pretty similar to how I want mine. Was your inlet...
